Subject: Re:JS Problem - code breaks if run too fast? From: Michael Date: August 3, 2004
Brian,

Here's most of the code. You'll notice right away that there are references to other functions that I didn't include below. I have removed those functions without affecting this issue so I'm confident that they're irrelevant to this problem. If you want them, though, I'll send them. I just didn't want to overwhelm you with script or confuse the issue. I really appreciete your help. I doubt many people would take the time. Thanks.


function udeSubmit(screenCode, parameters) {
document.body.style.cursor = 'wait';
//replaceInvalidChars();

if(submitFlag == false){ //when submitFlag is true, we disable all submissions
var doSubmit=true;
try {
doSubmit = onUDESubmit();

} catch (e) {}
try{
if (doSubmit) {//this is where doSubmit is run - returns t/f


submitFlag = true;//should prevent further submissions
disableButtons();//disables all html buttons
disableMenu();//disables menus at top
// parameters is an ampersand-delimited set of key/value pairs
doubleBrackets();
if(parameters){//place parameters into an array
var pairs = parameters.split("&");

var pos=pairs[i].indexOf('=');//returns location of the first occurance of '=' or -1 if there are none
if(-1 == pos) continue;// error handling for bad value
